The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Sophia stood at the side. “Why did you imbibe during the day?”

Fabian snorted. “What do you know?”

Not in the mood to argue with him, Sophia relented. “Whatever. Just leave since you’re awake. I’ve got things to do, too.”

Fabian shook his head in an attempt to clear his mind. “I owe you one for this incident today.” Getting to his feet, he fished out his cell phone and glanced at the time.

She was in high spirits, humming while she worked, looking extremely cheery. Sophia stood at the door when she arrived, yet Robin didn’t notice her at all, absently mopping the floor while occasionally singing before bursting into giggles when something occurred to her. At this, Sophia timely asked, “What’s the joyous occasion that you’re giggling aloud?”
